Harmony

when the guava tree
showed leaves
we waited for time
for it to give flowers
and then it came
we waited till it
bore fruits and then
the fruits ripened
we waited till all the
ripe ones fell to the
ground

then our hands picked
them all up
and we ate the juicy
sweet pulp and then
we spit out the seeds
to the ground

we swallowed what
fills our thirst and hunger
and the world
smiled
